The grabbing of a save-file occurs if one, and only one, save-file is found. Otherwise a choice of found save-files is offered.

Just skimming through initrd_sbin/init, I'd say that the absolutely simplest way to avoid the automatic, possibly disastrous, grabbing of a save-file is to always offer a choice, lines 615ff of initrd_sbin/init:

I would prefer to change this to offer a choise when there is one pup_save file or more and not always. I think this can do the trick:

Quote:

# gives user option of choosing pupsave. if only one exists selects it
choose_pupsave_func(){
## set PUPSAVE
#set -- $ALLPUPSAVES # just pass it to function...
#if [ $# -eq 1 ];then # only one pup_save -- use it
# PUPSAVE="$1"
if [ $# -gt 0 ];then # one or more than one -- ask which to use
echo -e "\\033[1;36mPLEASE CHOOSE WHICH SAVE FILE TO USE" >/dev/console

Yeah, that one was for Puppy 4, but I figured I would see if it worked for you or not - didn't know how many dependencies it required._________________In memory of the dogs I've loved...Molly and Farrah...
